She applied for <\/span><b>maternity leave<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> with the FEI while she was pregnant, so for the time Jessica was away, <\/span><b>half <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">of her <\/span><b>ranking points<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> were still <\/span><b>valid<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.

From Jessica\u2019s and the German federation\u2019s view of the<\/span><b> law<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, the FEI must offer <\/span><b>at least<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> six months of maternity leave to female athletes who request it. However, it is<\/span><b> not required<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that athletes take six-month pauses. Therefore, it should be okay for female athletes to <\/span><b>return<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> from maternity leave <\/span><b>early<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Receiving the remaining points from the prior payment period expires the month they start over.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;The<\/span><b> regulation&#8217;s goal<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is to ensure that the athletes <\/span><b>won&#8217;t suffer <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">from a health-related layoff.
